Pretty sure the doctors are not the reason that the american healthcare system works like this.

You are correct. This problem is caused by administrators and managers. If you got rid of all the unnecessary middle management and paid the executives reasonable wages instead of the grossly inflated pay they have now, healthcare would be a heck of a lot cheaper. The health insurance companies and the medical supply companies/pharmaceutical companies aren't helping either. There are literally life-saving drugs that can cost up to $100k for one dose.
